I think you should look at the updates to the news story. He payed for his subway ticket, grabbed a free newspaper on the way in, The only time he ran was to get on his train, he then stopped calmly, looked for a seat and sit down. It hardly sounds like he was fleeing from anyone. They hadn't even identified him as the suspect they had under survellance because the guy taking the pictures was taking a piss. They made 1 mistake after another, then they didn't try to correct the first reports that he was running from the police, jumped the ticket barrier, was wearing a bulky jacket capable of concealing a bomb. I don't understand your shoot first ask questions later policy. I still cannot bring myself to believe that this was a justified shooting.
I'm sorry for hijacking this thread, I won't discuss it anymore in this topic. I'm sure they'll catch the other suspects soon enough.
